Revelation 7

7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Steven and I are now reading an awesome, revealing book By Benjamin Baruch that expounds on The Year of Jubilee and how, after it's completion, there is a bit of prophecy that will be finished.

According to his calculations at the end of the Jubilee Year in the Spring of 2017; it is the beginning of the Spiritual Calendar of 2018.

As he points out, Israel became reborn in 1948 but the Holy City, which is the Old City, was not under Israeli control until 1967 in the Spiritual year which ended in the spring of 1968.

Seven weeks (49 yrs.) from the spring of 1968 is the spring of 2017 and the 50th year begins in the spring of 2018; this is the year which will mark the beginning of Great Tribulation and, the revealing of Messiah as a Prince within the lives of his 144,000 anointed ones and their portion is to share in the ministry of Jesus Christ as the man-child of the Book of Revelation.

He tells how it is through these sanctified vessels that the second half ministry of Messiah shall be completed. The coming of these anointed ones as princes of Israel was prophesied by Isaiah 32:1 . Behold a king shall reign in righteousness and his princes shall rule in the judgment."

Please remember, there is no separate Gentile Church, there is only the Time of the Gentiles which was fulfilled when Jerusalem was taken out of the control of the Gentiles and once again, back in the hands of Israel. If this could only be understood by those that think they are a Gentile Church, then the cob-webs would be gone and comprehension to what is told in scriptures can be better understood.

However, if you want to align yourself with the Gentiles, go ahead, you are there-fore aligned with the Gentile nations that have been and continue to be against the Lord God whose Land is Israel. God knows we have plenty of churches, claiming to be Christians, that are doing that as they continue to partake of Gentile pagan rituals.

There-fore if the Gentiles are truly grafted into the Natural Olive Branch of Spiritual Israel, the ending of this upcoming Jubilee year could be the beginning of something very exciting.

Oh, by the way, Pentecost, when the Spirit fell, was not the beginning of the Church but was, as we know, a Jubilee Year at which time when Jesus left and sent His Holy Spirit. His Spirit came upon His Elect for such time as when He, Himself will return to finish His Work.

I know most of us have been taught a different way of looking at his complete ministry yet He only completed the first 3 1/2 years before His Death, Resurrection and Ascension on the 50th day. So, those 3 1/2 years of His Work ended in a Jubilee Year and on the 50th Day (Pentecost Day). The scriptures reveal the Day of the Lord begins during a Jubilee. And Do you see, how perfectly God keeps His numbers?

What this helps us to understand is that, while the Antichrist will be given his 3 1/2 years, the Lord Jesus Christ will complete His last 3 1/2 years during the same time.

There will be two Princes in the form of one, an evil man, his false prophet and Illuminated Elite AND second, there will be the 144,000 of the Tribes of Israel, endowed with His Special Spiritual Power to do what they will do during that time...make Tribulation for the evil ones. They will be a literal thorn in the side of these Evil Ones who want to destroy all the Saints.

The Book of Revelation speaks about How the A/C will try to destroy God's Holy Ones but will fail so he goes after the rest of those that are known by His Name and keep His Commandments. (Hello! Pre-Tribbers...do you hear that?) I hope so because you will wish you had listened.

We've had many opinions regarding Daniel's 70th week. Some said it hadn't begun; others say it was completely finished and that God would not break up that last week up into two parts. Well, the truth of the matter Jesus Christ came exactly 62 weeks after the degree to restore Jerusalem in the time of Ezra.

And, Jesus Christ broke up the prophecy of Isaiah 61:1 by His reading the first half that told why He had come. Here is what it said,

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;"

What did He do then? He closed up the book and sat down. He confirmed the Covenant of Grace and Truth, in His first 3 1/2 year ministry as a humble servant sent to be the Lamb of God.

He didn't even begin to read the second half, did He? Why not? Because that was yet to be for a future time when He would finish His work through the 144,000 of the Chosen Ones of Israel.

Here is what the second half tells us,

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Why else would there even be a need for a special group of His Own set apart for this work? Because these are the ones through whom He will finish the Second Half of the 70th week. The 144,000 are given 3 1/2 years of duty. Listen to this: "Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain."

The Lord will accomplish the complete fulfillment of all prophecy during the 70th week. "Seventy weeks are determined...to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins, and to make reconcilliation for iniquity; and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."

The Lord will bring a complete cancellation of the charges against His Elect during the seventieth week.
